After 7 years later inside the guild.
I was currently inside the guild in order to check what type of mana nature do I have. And also to register myself as the adventure.
Well basically many see their talent of how many mana nature one have but those who wants to know can know through guild , Since many can't afford such artifact.
After I put my hand on the stone tablet , waited for a minute artifact to show its effect. The artifact glowed for a sec then went to normal.
The beast-kin woman at the counter of the guild saw the result of my nature. Smiling she said " Congratulations girl you have three mana nature , Water , Wind and fire."
Hearing it I to smiled knowing that having three mana nature was good and not many have three different mana nature.
After receiving her ID of guild she went out of the guild toward her house to give the news of her talent to her Aunt.
On the way toward my home many boys stared at me with interest and some tried to start the conversation with me but I ignored them as always because the time I turned 13 I started to show the sign that I was going to be a fine girl with beauty, having my womanly assets growing at right places. My aunt has already warned me and thought me dark reality of this world. That being beauty can also bring you lots of problem, if you are not powerfull enough to protect your ownself, So I had already started to keep my distance from the boys.
Arriving at home I excitedly called "Aunt I came from the guild," hearing a voice of Sara, Emma to came out of the kitchen who was making a dinner for both of them.
Emma" Ohhh, you came good, So how was everything did everything went well? " with smile on her face happy to see Sara grow so quickly that she couldn't even remember how fast she grew in front of her eyes and time flied by.
I excitedly noded my head then with a smile I said " Yes, Aunt everything went well now I had became the adventure just like you and I even checked which mana nature is compatible to me".
" Is it haaa.. so how many and which mana nature is compatible to you ? " asked Emma with curious face.
She showed three finger from one hand and putting another on her wraist said with a proud face "Fufufufu... I am compatible with three mana nature water , Wind , and fire I am a genius fufufufu. " laughing on her talent of mana nature.
Emma to got happy hearing it then said "Yes! Indeed you are genius Sara, but now go wash your hands dinner is almost ready we will eat now,".
"Ok" Sara ran toward her room to wash herself while Emma in deep thought sighed thinking ' Now I guess it's time for me to, too tell her everything about her mother. I can't delay any longer. I just wish this doesn't hurt her much'. Been little sad, She went inside to set dinner.
At the dinning table Emma and Sara eating their food while Sara was happy for becoming the adventure and would soon start her journey as a ranker too. While Emma seeing her happy became more worry to speak about her parent that would break her good mood.
Taking a deep breath she finally spoke seeing that Sara has almost finished her food not wanting to delay any longer." Sara we need to talk," with a serious face.
I to stopped eating looked toward aunt seeing her serious mood which she barely makes I became curious, So I asked "About what Aunt ?"
"About your parents". She replied.
Hearing this I became shock, I always used to ask her about my parent when I turned 6, But she never used to speak or let me know about them always used to say 'When you would grow big enough I would tell you' this answer always made me Very sad and angry but I knew that my aunt always loved me a lot even if she was not my mother, Maybe she loved me even more then some mother loved their child knowing this I couldn't stay sad or angry on her for long. This continued till I turned 10 but always getting same reply made me think she would never say me about my parents , So I stopped asking about my parents.
I knew what mother was, The one who gives birth and love her child unconditionally. So even though Aunt was not the one who gave birth to me, She was the one who loved Me unconditionally and whenever I used to look in her eyes, I always saw only pure love and affection for me nothing else. So I always considered her as my mother, but never called her that knowing she always used to say she was my aunt, So I knew she didn't wanted me to call her mother. I didn't knew why but for me what I call her didn't matter, What I feel mattered.
So getting to hear her that she was going to tell me about my parents made my feeling very chaotic. Not knowing what to say, I stayed quiet and looked toward my aunt. She who doesn't know anything about her parents wanted to know about them too even if she had considered her Aunt as mother.
Emma seeing she was paying attention toward her continued " Sara I too don't know much about your parents so I would say everything I know off ,"taking a long breath making her emotion little calm herself, She spoke further " Your mother name was Sara too I have given you your mother name. One day she came to this town from wheir I don't know off but she stayed in this town many respected your mother since she was kind hearted woman while some respected her for her strength because she was at rank 34." She stopped letting Sara take all of this in.
I was shocked to here my mother rank which was 34 while highest rank in this town was only at rank 12 thus made me curious too what such rank person doing In our town. But didn't speak and leted her Aunt speak further.
She continued " She helped many people in this town in that I was one of them she saved my life and since I was all along having no one in this world she took me in and we started living together. Our bond to Got stronger I started calling her as my big sister. Then is when I got to know about your mother was pregnant with you. Since she came in this town she was pregnant with you. It took her 2 years to give birth to you,".
In this world, The Higher rank the woman is more time they take to give birth to their child.
I asked seeing she was not speaking further "So, Where is she now?"
Emma made a difficult expression, Can't bring herself to answer her question. But with heavy heart she spoke, "S-She died," her voice was breaking a little.
"Whhat!! How could she die, Didn't you said she was at rank 34," I asked in another shock and feeling very sad, I thought that she must had left me in this town but she been dead.
Emma said "S,s-she died after giving birth to you," she looked down, couldn't look in Sara eyes while saying this.
